I’m taking on a challenge. I’m learning 21 people’s names in 21 days. Actually, I'm learning more than their just their names. These are not random people off the street, these are people in my world but I've never met them. I had a desire to know these people even before I photographed them and learned their names. After I photographed each person, I interviewed them about leadership, their view on people and their one word to the world. I chose to focus on leadership because these 21 people have led me in one way or another. Now, I know their names.

4 I Can Help The Next Guest

     My place to unwind is TJMaxx. Once I went there four times in a week. It was a bad week, don't judge. I know Chantel won't. How do I explain how nice she is without being trite? She's nice enough to call up her manager and walk out to the parking lot with a perfect stranger to be photographed.

     Chantel had many stories about people she's met at the store, but this is what she thinks of people in general: "I love people, I love working with people. That's one of the reasons I've stuck working around here so long. I learn from people by having discussions with them."
     "A good leader listens, that's half the battle. Then they need to know how to act on the concerns, and act rationally but not without feeling. My motto? I think every individual has something important to say. Have compassion and care about the people you lead."


Chatel's word to the world
